A flying car has been built in America. It is called the Terrafugia Transition, and looks like a normal car. Wings(機翼) pop out of its sides when you press a button. So if you are stuck in traffic then the car can take to the skies instead, flying at 115 mph. But if you want to go to school in one then you'll have to save up, as each one will cost £130,000!
This latest model(型號) can fly about 500 miles and you can fill it up with fuel(燃料) at a normal petrol pump. It takes about 30 seconds to extend(伸展) the wings, but you do need about 500 metres of clear road to take off.
Unfortunately(不幸地), because of the worldwide(全世界的) money problems, the company(公司) behind the flying car have had to stop making them at the moment. But they hope that the car-planes will be available to buy soon.
解釋：
| the car can take to the skies 【那輪汽車能夠飛上天空】 | skies: 天空 (複數)*本來sky是不可數名詞，但若受形容詞修飾時，我們則會說a sky或skies或者 當形容某地區的天空/某地區的天氣、氣候，而用天晴、天雨時，那時就要用skies這複數形 解釋來源 |
| you have to save up【你需要儲錢】 | …times a week: 每星期…次 例：I watch TV 3 times a week. （我每星期看3次電視。） |
| stop making them at the moment 【現在(那一刻)那公司已停止製造那些汽車】 | at the moment: 那一刻 例：I am busy at the moment. （我現出(這一刻) 很忙。） |
問題：
1. When will the wings pop out?
2. How much is the flying car?
3. How long does it take to extend the wings?
